Želite se odpraviti na poti, a ne veste, kje začeti? Obstaja veliko različnih načinov vožnje zunaj urejenih poti, mi pa smo tu, da vam pomagamo izbrati pravo gorsko kolo – ne glede na to, kako in kje želite kolesariti. Od klasičnih do električnih gorskih koles ter od kros do spusta – predstavili vam bomo vse, kar morate vedeti, da boste našli kolo, ki vam najbolj ustreza.
Ko izbirate, na katero gorsko kolo boste sedli, začnite tako, da se vprašate, kje in kako želite voziti. Ne glede na to, ali želite z družino uživati na gladkih, nezahtevnih poteh, se preizkusiti na kamnitem, tehnično zahtevnem terenu, skočiti na skokih v kolesarskem parku ali se z največjo učinkovitostjo vzpenjati v klance, obstaja slog gorskega kolesa, zasnovan prav za vas.
Vaš lokalni teren in slog vožnje bosta določila, kaj je za vas juuust prav.
Če vstopite v katero koli kolesarsko trgovino, ki prodaja gorska kolesa, boste na vsakem koraku slišali izraze, kot so »hod«, »polno vzmetenje« in »hardtail«. To se nanaša na vzmetenje kolesa oziroma sistem blaženja udarcev – ali ima kolo vzmetno vilico ali blažilnik ter koliko hoda vzmetenja ponuja.
Suspension is measured in millimeters, and the amount of suspension a bike has is called travel. How much travel a bike has will help indicate what its intended use is, with shorter-travel bikes and hardtails shining on smoother trails and longer-travel bikes excelling in rougher, rowdier terrain.
Hardtails only have front suspension and are lightweight and easier to maintain. They typically are more efficient to pedal, however, with no rear shock to absorb bumps, it takes more effort to stay in control and comfortable in rougher terrain.
Full suspension bikes have both front and rear suspension, making them more comfortable and easier to keep in control in rocks and roots. Rear suspension helps keep the back wheel tracking on the ground, so you get better grip. Compared to a hardtail, full suspension mountain bikes tend to be less efficient to pedal, due to the added weight from the rear shock and hardware that goes with it, and the movement from the shock.
Gorska kolesa se razvrščajo v različne kategorije, ki jih določa vrsta terena, na katerem so zasnovana, da se najbolje izkažejo. V nadaljevanju bomo predstavili različne tipe gorskih koles in pojasnili, katera kolesa sodijo v posamezno kategorijo.
Gorska kolesa za kros (XC) zagotavljajo učinkovito pedalanje in okretno vodljivost. So lažja od drugih vrst gorskih koles, njihovi deli pa so izbrani za hitrost, na primer vzmetenje s krajšim hodom in pnevmatike, ki se hitreje kotalijo. Na vzponih se z njimi lažje kolesari, vendar pa je za vožnjo po neravnih spustih potrebno več spretnosti. Kolesa XC so odlična izbira za dirke ali vožnjo po poteh brez velikih kamnov, korenin in skokov.
Kolesa za trail omogočajo lažje ohranjanje nadzora na zahtevnem terenu, saj zagotavljajo stabilnejšo vodljivost. So težja od koles za kros, vendar vam zaradi vzmetenja z daljšim hodom in širših plaščev zagotavljajo boljši oprijem in večje udobje. Na vzponih niso ravno tako odzivna kot kolesa za kros, vendar so na spustih precej bolj samozavestna. Kolesa za trail so odlična izbira za začetek, če iščete vsestransko kolo, ki se odlično obnese na najširšem naboru poti.
Kaj pa enduro?
Enduro kolesa so trail kolesa z daljšim hodom, vendar se to, kaj velja za enduro in kaj za trail, lahko razlikuje od regije do regije, odvisno od terena. Ker sta enduro in trail lahko subjektivna pojma, smo ti dve kategoriji združili, tako da lahko sami odločite, ali je za vas primernejše trail kolo z daljšim ali krajšim hodom.
Prenesite moč na pedale z gorskimi e-kolesi z električno podporo. E-MTB-ji imajo majhen motor, ki vam med poganjanjem nudi podporo, zato se lahko vozite dlje in raziščete več. Ne glede na to, ali vozite XC ali trail, vam e-MTB-ji ponujajo še več vsega, kar imate radi pri gorskem kolesarjenju. Začnite tukaj, če želite več živahnosti pri poganjanju.
Kolesa z debelimi gumami vam omogočajo vožnjo po bolj sipkem terenu, kot sta sneg in pesek. Njihove izjemno široke gume vam zagotavljajo oprijem, podoben tistemu pri tanku, in izjemno stabilno vodljivost. Poganjanje je težje kot pri kolesih s standardnimi gumami, vendar učinkovitost zamenjate za vsestranskost, ki vam omogoča vožnjo kjerkoli in kadarkoli. Začnite tukaj, če si želite kolo, s katerim se lahko odpravite tja, kamor druga ne morejo.
Ustvarjeno, da prevzame gravitacija. Kolesa za spust so na voljo tako v različicah z dolgim hodom za najbolj strme in najbolj razrite terene kot tudi v različicah s kratkim hodom za zemeljske skoke in slopestyle. Ne glede na vzmetenje imajo vsa kolesa za spust eno skupno lastnost: narejena so tako, da je pedaliranje omejeno na minimum, gravitacija pa opravi svoje. S kolesom za spust začnite le, če se nameravate do začetka poti povzpeti s sedežnico ali s shuttle tovornjakom.
Riders come in a huge range of sizes, and so do our mountain bikes. Choose the right mountain bike size for your height to lock in the most fun and comfort on the trail.
Explore MTB sizingMountain bike wheel sizing can feel complicated, but it’s not. In short, 29˝ wheels are faster rolling, great for smoothing over obstacles, 27.5˝ wheels are more nimble. MX bikes come with one of each (29˝ front, 27.5˝ rear), and bikes with Smart Wheel Sizing tune the wheel size to rider height.
Find out about MTB wheel sizingIn the past, women’s specific designs gave female riders a bike that would fit right from the start. Now, many design elements that were created for women’s MTBs, like lower standover height and smart wheel sizing, are used on bikes for any gender. That makes for a better ride for all riders.
Explore Trek WomenMost modern mountain bikes have air-sprung suspension that can be easily adjusted for any rider. Learn these few steps to get the most out of your full-suspension mountain bike.
Explore suspension setupVsako gorsko kolo Trek je opremljeno s skrbno izbrano kombinacijo delov – prestav, gonilke, verige in menjalnika –, ki se skupaj imenuje pogonski sklop. Znotraj vsake družine koles se s povečevanjem številk modelov pogonski sklopi postajajo lažji, bolj tekoči, natančnejši in imajo več prestav. Pogonski sklopi višjega razreda ponujajo tudi več možnosti za prilagajanje ergonomije prestavljanja in pogosto zdržijo dlje, ker jih je mogoče servisirati, namesto zamenjati, ko se deli obrabijo. Gorska kolesa Trek so opremljena s pogonskimi sklopi SRAM ali Shimano. Vsako podjetje izdeluje vrhunske komponente z lastnimi prednostmi, ki ustrezajo vašemu načinu vožnje.
Mám zvoliť elektronické alebo mechanické radenie?
